Best Buy is ending Elite and Elite Plus membership

Eeeh dealing directly with best buy for your warranty shyt is faster and easier. Besides you can possibly double dip my g.

My Nvidia shield broke out of warranty. American Express cut me a check for what I paid in a week. They told me don’t even bother sending it back. I contacted Nvidia and they wouldn’t fix it. I argued with them I wanted an out of warranty fix and they said they don’t service them. In the end Nvidia told me send it to them and they sent me another one so now I have 2 for the price of 1.

I prefer that way over taking it into Best Buy, handing it off to them, and getting a new one. I came out better dealing with the credit card company.

I stopped ever since they canned GCU.
Amazon it is for me.

Yeah, Best Buy's departure from Gaming and Electronics has been depressing and disappointing.

Best Buy is now a hub store for other brands that don't have local stores. That and a cell phone store. The gaming has been cut back so much you might as well just buy online.

I just read my notice this morning

honestly it’s a win if you’re in the category of people who couldn’t hit the 1500, and 3500 spend requirements

if they keep the special categories (grocery and gas) and cardmember bonuses (10% back if you paid your utilities with the card this quarter) it may still be a decent card.

Making good use of these rotations paid for my Ps5

outside of that might have to only use it for Best Buy purchases now.

stopped really buying when my Gamers club ended

only really buy steel books now

everything else is amazon

 

[Why-Fi]

I only use best buy if they have what I want at the one around the corner, right then and there

Beyond that this is a reward program for their most loyal customers. The typical customer isn't spending $3500 at Best Buy annually it's usually a one off if they're buying appliances. How do you give the most loyal customers your big spenders the finger like this over an annual subscription service?
